I think Cena would have probably have become a Main Event Heel who could run with it till a chasing Rock/Austin beat him, the only think I could see against him was if his ring work would hold him back

If Rock or Austin's "ring work" didn't hold them back, then Cena sure as hell would've never had a problem from an in ring standpoint either. Besides "ring work" does not make a great match. The match of the year in WWE so far this year is probably the End of an Era Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania, and that sure as hell was not a technical masterpiece.

What year "ring work" become such a big deal among smarks? Because that has never mattered in the WWE. The "WWE style" (if anyone actually gets what I mean when I say that) is based on theatrics. Most main event matches, especially on pay per view is all about Intro, Body, and Conclusion. It's all about "moments" within a match, a hard bump here, a false finish here. It may seem like other companies do that, but they don't. Most companies have nothing more than mindless matches with "Holy shit" moments that WWE is smart enough to use sparingly.

Hell Vince said it best in The Rise and Fall of ECW DVD, when he brought up how most of the matches were pretty much a visual of "let me show you guys how many buckets of blood I can draw", or "look at how many submission holds and suplexes I can do" in the case of guys like Tazz, Malenko, Guerrero etc... That's not exactly what Vince said, but that was the point he was making.

Cena does not need "to increase his work rate, add to the five moves of doom, or let his heel persona shine through" to prove how good he is.

Agree about the Corporate Rock, that was when Rock made the "Millions..." legit. This is always gold, after the Ladder match with HHH, WWF on the Home Shopping Network, Rock comes out pissed off, asking where the fuck all The Rock's merchandise for the Millions to buy, then on the spot gives the idea for his first shirt which was the blue "Brahma Bull", still have it somewhere BTW. What a stupid move not to do a "ROCKY SUCKS!" shirt during the peak of his Nation heel run when crowds were chanting it so loud you couldn't hear his music, could have been a huge seller. First Rock item was October 1998 IIRC.

There is a part in the Know Your Role DVD where Rock says in character that there are 3 billion of Rock fans today(99)and in a few years, probably the entire world lol. Can't find it.

The documentary gives a look backstage immediately following the WrestleMania 28 match, which shows an embrace between Rock and Cena, in addition to interactions with Vince McMahon. Below are some exclusive photos of the eye-opening scene. Grab your copy of the DVD to see it all.

Both The Rock and John Cena were also briefly interviewed backstage following the “Once in a Lifetime” match up, with some of their comments making it into the documentary.
